Making Apple Cider

This weekend we had a chance to use up some of our apples by making cider. A family friend has a cider press, so we brought over a Rubbermaid full of yellow and red delicious apples and went to work. We had snow and two days of freezing weather which made the apples extra sweet. This was the best apple cider I've ever had! I hope to pick the rest of our apples this week to make more!

After awhile the kids were done with the apples and moved on the the teeter-totter. They have already requested for dad to build them their own.
